LOUD rattle in back right of car.

Howdy guys, this noise has been bugging the hell outta me for about 3 weeks now. It is a vibrating type noise coming from the back right interior of the car. At first I thought it was the spare. So i opened it up and looked, everything was tight, the only thing that might have been rattling was the top of jack, and you can barely move this part. Maybe a 1/2 an inch. Anyways, I went crazy trying to find out where and the hell it was coming from but I always drive alone, so I had to do it when the car is parked. The rattle only occurs when i hit a bump or am driving on a bumpy road. Please help and all suggestions are appreciated, I'm about to install a system in my car and I can't have it rattling every time the base hits.

it could be your exhaust, license plate, spoiler, taillights, bumper cover, plastic panel in back. could be anything, goodluck trying to pinpoint it by yourself. it would be a good itea to dynamat the back of your car when you get your system, and make sure you dynamat and get a license plate frame too, because the plate is a definent rattle.

Look at the top of the right rear shock! That's on the inside and would rattle over every bump if loose!
